Answer key:

1. 1
Let the number be n.
x is 25% of n.

n = 4x
125% of x

2. 4

3. 2
Right Answer Explanation:
Last years allocation = n
This year's allocation = 15% more than n = 0.15n + n = 1.15n
Budget allocated = 60% of 1.15n
=Rs. (0.6) (1.15n)

4. 2

Right Answer Explanation:


Day time call charges = 90 for 3 minutes + c per minute
Call charges reduced by 65% after 11:00 pm
So, new call charges = 35% of day call charge
= 0.35 (0.9) + c per minute
So, charge for 30 minute call = 0.35 (0.9) + (30 3)(0.0c)
0.9)
= 0.35 (0.9 + 0.27c)

(90 = $0.9) & C cents = $0.0c


(charge for 3 min is 0.35

5. 1

Right Answer Explanation:


Product of two integers is greatest when x = y, i.e. x2 or y2.
Since, x + y = 12.
So, greatest value for xy when x = y = 6.
Greatest value of xy is 6 6 = 36.

6. 4

Right Answer Explanation:


Since, there can be more than one value for a and b such that
determined.

= 20, it cannot be

7. 3

Right Answer Explanation:


Lets take x = 10 and y = 4
So, the integers between 10 and 4 are 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 i.e. 5.
Therefore, number of integers = (10 4) 1 = 6 1 = 5
So, x y 1 can be used to determine the number of integers between x and y excluding x and y

8. 3

Right Answer Explanation:

9. 2

Right Answer Explanation:


will be greatest if z is the least number i.e. 1 x is the greatest number less than 10.
i.e. 9 and y are the smallest numbers greater than 1 and z. (Because z = 1 and all x, y, z are three
different positive integers)
So, greatest value for

10.2

Right Answer Explanation:


Number of damaged boxes =
Let the total number of boxes = x
20 is 2% of x.
20 = 0.02 x
Or, x =
Number of boxes shipped = 1000 boxes

1. 1

Right Answer Explanation:


a + 4d = 18
And a + 15d = 40

(1)
(2)

Subtracting (1) from (2), we get 11d = 22


From (1), a + 4
th

2 = 18

a = 10

Now 20 term = a + 19d = 10 + 19

2.

d=2

2 = 10 + 38 = 48
